A Red-headed Girl. Protests.

To begin with, ain red headed girl;
at least some call me so, and 1t is in the
interest of my prosecuted sisterhood and
of myself that l make this appeal TO you.
Before the look for a white horse" came
upon us we were accustomed To great
deal of admiration from gentleman, and
suppose caused much jealousy TO exist in
the breasts of our less favored and darker
headed sisters, for they have shamefully
formed plot to throw us to ignominy,
or at least to make it so uncomfortable
for us that we are obliged to hide our elves
and laughing crowd. My hair is not red /;
that is, il never has been called red until
lately, and now it certainly must have
taken deeper, tint. for as / pass down
the street hear something like this from
all sides: Look for white horseY'
Where's the white horse?" why hav-
en't you heard of the red headed girl
white horse craze? It's too funny for
anythingl If you sec red.hcaded girl
just look for it and you are sure to see q
white horse. It's too funny. 1t never
fails" etc. Now it is altogether too
funny" and, to say the least, is very un-
comfortable A party was recently form
ed 10 investigate into the matter and find
out, if possible, who was responsible for
the plot (for plot it is) and the mystery,
if any. connected with red hair and white
horses. They unanimously agreed that
there was no mystery. and hat it is moth
ing more than wickedly- gotten up
scheme to draw attention from us; for
just so soon as the color Of our hair is
seen one is looking for the horse, never
as much as casting glance or second
thought upon US Letter IN Chicdg0

ed the attendant to him and iDqui, ed
when the water would be up, and was
told that il did r OF come up to the houses,
and if he wanted to bathe he would have
to go cut there, pointing to the surf,
which was rolling in in good style. The
gentleman frem the Capital replied that
he was not going out there, and If they
wanted him to bathe the water must pc

that that couldn't be done, and SO he put
OH his clothes and left the island, much
